Ok, so lets assume said pokemon with 100 ATK  swords dances.

He now has 200 attack.

Powersplit cuts his attack to 100. So does burn.

Now, let's assume that Shuckle does Rollout for some reason instead of Stone edge. He now has 100 ATK to use to attack ... on a 30 BP move.

Oh but don't worry, it doubles later! 60 BP. STILL not as much as stone edge. And guess what, you gave him 2 free turns to SD again: one on your inital rollout, one for your 2nd.

In addition, shuckle's base HP prevents it from being the ubertank that it seems to be. 90 + 31 + 63 vs 20 + 31 + 63 puts Shuckle at nearly 1/2 of the durability of Arcanine comparing HP. In addition, it has an embarrasing weakness to Stealth Rock, along with weaknesses to water and steel, common in this meta.

Leftovers: 1/16. Morning Sun/Recover: 1/2.
